I'm getting ripped on like 4.28% or something another 9 months of fixed left 


Once it's over you can generally talk to someone at the bank and they will generally give you a better rate to keep you as a customer if you say you are looking at moving your loan to one of their competitors as they have a better rate.
Talking about the rate; I have no idea when you obtained a loan.


Right now as a first home buyer owner occupied, ubank offer a 3.74% comparison rate loan. Loans.com.au aren't much different.

No reason you couldn't have gotten a better comparison rate than I am on?

Ubank and loans.com.au

They both still offer great rates?

Looking at them now - they do look to have the best comparison rates. No free lunch though - from a shallow look they seem to offer stripped down products and less overheads to achieve the rates. When I was talking to a couple of brokers about finance, for what I wanted to borrow (basically the max I could on my single income) with an offset account, extra repayments and fast approval, both recommended NAB (maybe they pay the most commission lol). Can always refinance down the track; I think the exit is $350.

Yes, definitely not as full fat features wise as others, but it offers the basics that you actually need and gives you a cheaper rate because of it, I think it took 2-3 weeks for full approval as they organise someone to go out and inspect the place/do their own valuations etc as part of the process.

Mines with loans.com.au, no credit card included (unless you count the visa debit card thats tied directly to your offset which I wouldn't), but has 100% offset account and a low rate with no yearly fees, that's exactly what I was looking for.

Credit card is sorted by just getting a zero yearly fee 55day card from what ever bank suits and paying it in full when due.

Pls explain

80% LVR / no LMI, 50% stamp duty

Or they can go guarantor on the loan and you technically don't need any deposit or LMI.

Can't guarantee a loan where the guarantor does not receive corporate benefit.

This confuses me - explain?

you can't provide a guarantee where you don't receive direct benefit from the deal.

eg: mum and dad guarantee their kids house, no direct benefit to mum and dad is perceived as they don't live in it.

eg: house is in Mrs name and loan is in Mr's name - they live together. Mrs provides a guarantee supported by her house to use as security = direct benefit

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
